Product Info

-What you can expect-
The Hawaiian Sunset photo tour not only positions you in perfect timing to capture a brilliant sunset, but you get to take pictures of the sun rays as they touch and graze the topography of Oahu Island’s Windward side. Be nourished by the fresh air of calmness, and carry this exciting state forward for the remaining of the day as you encounter the smells of hundreds of Plumeria flowers at a botanical garden in a volcanic crater. Then, the Ko’olau Mountains up close and personal at the Makapu'u Lookout. This lookout is one of the favorite spots for people taking a Hawaii photography tour. Please the senses at Ai Love Nalo or Ono Steaks, a specially chosen food shop specializing in Hawaiian and Hawaii-inspired dishes. All meals will be prepared with locally produced and health-conscious ingredients to hold faithful to the theme of mindfulness.

Continue to the Halona blow-hole to capture the stunning landscape of East Oahu. You’ll get the chance to see tide pools, late-stage volcanic eruptions, and, depending on the time of year, you may even spot a Humpback whale. Be prepared to capture vibrant blue waves crashing into a unique rock formation! After all the excitement, prepare to photograph Hawaii’s most classic sunset on the Eastern tip of Oahu, where you’ll capture the sun dropping down the sky on the sea cliff walls. The beauty can only be first hand witnessed, not described, on this Hawaiian sunset tour.
